50 Extrusion International 4/2021 MEASURING TECHNOLOGY FOR PLASTICS AND RUBBER The new downsized systems have be- come available just at the right time. The plastics industry, like many other sectors, has been feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year, with markets becoming increasingly hesitant. Now, fl exible and ef fi cient solutions are needed – solutions that achieve maximum ef- networkability within the production process. But this is no reason for the PIXARGUS team to rest on their lau- rels. “Our goal is Plug & Play”, adds Michael Frohn. He holds out the pros- pect that, not too far into the future, their systems will be able to be com- missioned without the support of a technician. fects on your productionwhile sparing low budgets. This is where the smart inspection systems AllRoundia DualVi- sion (DV) for round products and iPro- fi lControl for pro fi les come in. While being very compact, these new PIXARGUS systems are able to adjust themselves – virtually without opera- tor intervention – to the inspection task on hand. The systems have been designed to be ready to start with only minimum set-up effort in any produc- tion environment. They can be eas- ily integrated into a line and swiftly switched between lines, thanks to the minimum resetting effort required – two bene fi ts which we placed special emphasis on in the design of the sys- tems. The technology is based on that of their bigger brother, Pro fi lControl 7, which scores with its innovative LED and sensor technology and its unique multi-area functionality. PIXARGUS promises high performance at an affordable price. AllRounDia DV, for example, is available from only 20,000 Euros.
